Top PSA - I'm skint tho:(
That's cheaper than used ones can go for on ebay!
Edit: prob no bleed kit or bits, but hey!
Nice one, shame I bought one only a few days ago 🙁
Yep, just bought one, that's ridiculous. What's the trade price on a reverb?
As in , I bought one a week ago, somewhere else.
For a lot more than that.
As in: I sold a used one on ebay last week. For more than that.
That's just- well, un just.
The trade price on a 2013 reverb is £299.91.. or thereabouts.
Thanks for this. 😀
Ace price (and if anybody's broken the lever on one, this is barely more expensive than buying the replacement part to fix it 😉 )
Looks like a SCAM.
Seems they are gender-specific.....
Strange, for a seatpost.
I dont know (about the scam part!).
I've ordered from http://www.probikeshop.fr before and it all went fine.
Here's the same item from the .fr site:
#Edit: looks kosher

Doesn't look like a scam to me, I just bought one and paid with paypal so either my account will now be hacked or it's a really clever scam. Paypal shows the merchant as probikeshop.fr
Thanks OP, great PSA. I was about to drop £270 at the LBS, albeit for a right handed version and some local warranty support.
By the way, it's not just the 125mm drop posts that are available at that price. I just got a 100mm jobby.
Booooooom!! Been looking for one & best I could find is £185 and was holding out for a better deal...I've gone with it, paid on PayPal & credit card, would like to think there is an element of security there!
P.S in all of the excitement for got to thank OP so cheers 🙂
They are TOTALY kosher, I got a Reverb form them a couple of months ago, I also got my Orange five frame from them too, shipping wise both times they took the pee out of near everyone but Merlin for speed.
Double post, what a chod.
bought a blur ltc from them last year, came within 24 hours, from France, top service
Aye, nowt wrong with probikeshop. Almost a pity I dont need one of these.
Nice PSA, OP. Shame bike stuff is at the bottom of our financial priorities list at the moment....
Bought a Joplin off them about two years ago for 127€. Even with the brand legacy that the brothers Crank may have, it was well worth it. Still working fine BTW
FWIW, Probikeshop is a bricks and mortar shop in the middle of St Etienne. 100% legit.
Big thanks OP
Been looking for a 100mm 31.6 Reverb but everywhere had either sold out or at full RRP. Got one on the way now. Awesome.
Scam?! You mean OE? Probikeshop is France's Merlin. Funnily enough last year Merlin were doing (full aftermarket with bleed kit and enduro clamp) reverbs for the same sort of money and loads of UK mail order were knocking them out for close.
I've used PBS a few times no issues.
€9.99 for delivery, so comes out at £164 all in through paypal!! C'est magnifique!!!
Stupid seat tube standards. Do I get a 30.9mm for my current bike, or a 31.6mm for my future build?
Assuming the different lengths are for people with kinked vs non-kinked seat tubes?
you get a 30.9 then use a shim later
I'd get the one you need now. At that price you can sell it on without much of a loss.
Wanted to Bump this to help overs get a bargain like the OP did for me.
Cheers again, can't wait for it to arrive now!
about that rrp £ 299.99 👿what trade?
Ahhhhh so tempted but shouldn't spend that much as really need some new brakes.
Drac, I will hold you personally accountable for the death of lbs if you buy those 😉
Not quite as good as the wiggle deal a few months ago at £160 including bleed kit
Drac, I will hold you personally accountable for the death of lbs if you buy those
I don't have one.
Bollocks... forked out £200 a couple of weeks ago for one...
Was that UK sourced and did it include a bleed kit? If so, where was it please?
Nwill1 - forgot to quote you!..
The one at £185 was at Hi Bike.de so not uk sourced but think it dose come with bleed kit you'd need to check but although not clear from my post in all the excitement I've purchased from probikeshop.
N.
Can anyone tell me what these actually came out at in Paypal please?
£164.86 according to my Paypal account, that's including delivery.
What exactly is in the bleed kit (that isn't included in this deal)? If it's standard Avid bleed kit stuff I have one already.
Mine is showing in €€€'s so not sure yet!?
Scam? What like uk distributors?
You can get bleed kits for £15.

Can I just point out that mine was £130 from CRC a while ago. 😀
On-one show these as having two hose length options. If so then i wonder what length the pro bike ones are?
Also, whats the MMX reference?, matchmaker? It's a shame if so as i wouldn't need the extra bolt hole section as i dont run avids.
Are they available without the matchmaker option?
grum nice to know you get a bargain but CRC certainly ain't doing anywhere near that price ATM, neither is anywhere else, I'd come to terms with paying £180-£190 so £160 feels like a good price right now, sure someone will come along at some point and flog a load off even cheaper but I didn't want to wait a dropper is useless sat in the shop.
I picked one up for £190 with bled kit and all the trimmings his week. They are all matchmaker but you can remove tha bit.
Great spot. Ordered, thanks OP. 😀

I was only being an arse. 🙂
Well worth having for £160. Good PSA.
Can you bolt the remote to your brake clamp if you have Avids? Or am I being a muppet.
And is anyone using these with a shim? How's it working out for you please?
Had the shipping confirmation from Probikeshop for mine.
Thumbs up to Epic Brake Bleeding Solutions as the bleed kit has arrived today having only ordered on Sunday.
Do you need the bleed kit in order to fit it? And should I be looking at 100mm or 125mm for my Anthem X?
Cheers.
Mine shipped yesterday!! I have a ICE V8 Lift on my other bike, so it will be interesting to compare the 2.
Ransos - Probably don't need the bleed kit but it was only £15 and sods law when adjusting the hose length it would probably need bleeding if I didn't have one.
I would fit the longest drop you can get away with.
I was forced to go with 100mm drop as the bike it's going on only has 17.5cm seatpost length from the top of the clamp to the rails and the 125mm is 19cm minimum exposed length.
Also bear in mind the location of any pivots that obstruct the internals of the seat tube when deciding on the overall length to be sure it's not too long to fit down the seat tube.
Cheers neninja. I'll hold fire until I can measure up my bike this evening.
Got conformation mine is in the country & will arrive today!
Did anyone else have to provide proof of I.D?
Bit weird but a mate who ordered one apparently needs to provide proof of address before they'll process his order.. 😕
Not here, was my first order with them.
Can anyone tell me how much of the post has to go into the seat-tube?

Probably something to do with paypal verification - his shipping details may differ from his account address details - or similar.
I nearly went for one of these but in the end have decided to hold out for a RHS lever so I can mount underside of my bar on the LHS. Being a fussy bugger and all.
Ordered one and it arrived in two days - pretty impressive. Came in at £166 total. Only complaint is the absurd box though - about 5 feet across!
One question about reverbs in general - the quoted weights are always MORE for the shorter one than the longer one. Is this correct.. if so I'm confused!
